Pewter Report debuted a new season-long weekend feature last season called Fifth Down that showcased some of the Bucs players each week to reveal what they are like off of the football field. We decided to bring it back for 2017 and this week in The Fifth Down we spoke with with backup quarterback Ryan Griffin.
The Fifth Down is sponsored by Ford’s Garage.
Question: Who is the toughest player you’ve faced in the NFL or college?
Answer: “Toughest opponent, okay … I’m going to go back to college and say Charles Sims. I think he set the record for yards in a game against us one year. So it’s pretty hard as an offense to keep up with him and Case Keenum at the same time.”
Question: If stranded on a deserted island, who would it be with?

Answer: “I’m picking Gerald McCoy, because I would turn into a cannibal and he’s got some delicious calves. I feel like his calves would be very tasty, like a turkey leg.”
Question: Who is your celebrity crush?
Answer: “Margot Robbie. She’s just a very, uh, intelligent person.”
Question: What deceased celebrity would you like to bring back for one night to have dinner with?
Answer: “I would have to go with Abraham Lincoln or George Washington. See where the country’s at, see what everyone was up to. Let’s go with George Washington, and really find out what it’s like to be the first president. I feel like we don’t really know and then I could write a book.”
Question: What is the worst possible song to get stuck in your head?
Answer: “Mims, This is Why I’m Hot.”
